Season 2 Reloaded for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War releases later tonight and the Patch notes for the update are now live. Treyarch released both the upcoming content and patch notes for the mid-season update prior to its release.

Along with a plethora of content, Black Ops Cold War fans can expect the first weapon tuning pass since December.
